The Times recommendation for Great Autumn Breaks

The Times have published an article titled “20 great autumn breaks and activities in Britain” and we are very proud to see that Cottage Lodge is in the TOP 10!

An extract from the article says:

“Spot wild pigs in the New Forest
Experience a slice of New Forest heritage — on the plate and on the ground — by witnessing the annual “pannage”, when wild pigs snuffle up the acorns that are poisonous to the forest’s ponies.

Stay at the pretty Cottage Lodge in Brockenhurst and book a day’s walking with Harry Oram, the chief forester for 20 years, who knows the best spots to see the pigs enjoying their pannage feast.”

The pigs are all around us at this time of the year, you can see them walking distance from the hotel.
